創世記 44
1 さてヨセフは家づかさに命じて言った、「この人々の袋に、運べるだけ多くの食糧を満たし、めいめいの銀を袋の口に入れておきなさい。
And he commanded [the one] who [was] over household his saying fill [the] sacks of the men food just as they are able! to carry and put [the] silver of each man in [the] mouth of sack his.
2 またわたしの杯、銀の杯をあの年下の者の袋の口に、穀物の代金と共に入れておきなさい」。家づかさはヨセフの言葉のとおりにした。
And cup my [the] cup of silver you will put in [the] mouth of [the] sack of the young [brother] and [the] silver of grain his and he did according to [the] word of Joseph which he had spoken.
3 夜が明けると、その人々と、ろばとは送り出されたが、
The morning it was light and the men they were sent off they and donkeys their.
4 町を出て、まだ遠くへ行かないうちに、ヨセフは家づかさに言った、「立って、あの人々のあとを追いなさい。追いついて、彼らに言いなさい、『あなたがたはなぜ悪をもって善に報いるのですか。なぜわたしの銀の杯を盗んだのですか。
They they came out the city not they had gone far and Joseph he said to [the one] who [was] over household his arise pursue after the men and you will overtake them and you will say to them why? have you repaid evil for good.
5 これはわたしの主人が飲む時に使い、またいつも占いに用いるものではありませんか。あなたがたのした事は悪いことです』」。
¿ Not [is] this [that] which he drinks master my in it and he indeed he practices divination by it you have done evil [that] which you have done.
6 家づかさが彼らに追いついて、これらの言葉を彼らに告げたとき、
And he overtook them and he spoke to them the words these.
7 彼らは言った、「わが主は、どうしてそのようなことを言われるのですか。しもべらは決してそのようなことはいたしません。
And they said to him why? does he speak master my according to the words these far be it to servants your from doing according to the manner this.
8 袋の口で見つけた銀でさえ、カナンの地からあなたの所に持ち帰ったほどです。どうして、われわれは御主人の家から銀や金を盗みましょう。
Here! silver which we found in [the] mouth of sacks our we brought back to you from [the] land of Canaan and how? will we steal from [the] house of master your silver or gold.
9 しもべらのうちのだれの所でそれが見つかっても、その者は死に、またわれわれはわが主の奴隷となりましょう」。
[anyone] whom It is found with him of servants your and he will die and also we we will be[long] to lord my to slaves.
10 家づかさは言った、「それではあなたがたの言葉のようにしよう。杯の見つかった者はわたしの奴隷とならなければならない。ほかの者は無罪です」。
And he said also now according to words your [will be] so it [anyone] whom it is found with him he will be of me slave and you you will be innocent.
11 そこで彼らは、めいめい急いで袋を地におろし、ひとりひとりその袋を開いた。
And they hurried and they brought down each man sack his [the] ground towards and they opened each man sack his.
12 家づかさは年上から捜し始めて年下に終ったが、杯はベニヤミンの袋の中にあった。
And he searched with the old [brother] he began and with the young [brother] he finished and it was found the cup in [the] sack of Benjamin.
13 そこで彼らは衣服を裂き、おのおの、ろばに荷を負わせて町に引き返した。
And they tore clothes their and he loaded each man on donkey his and they went back the city towards.
14 ユダと兄弟たちとは、ヨセフの家にはいったが、ヨセフがなおそこにいたので、彼らはその前で地にひれ伏した。
And he came Judah and brothers his [the] house of towards Joseph and he still he [was] there and they fell before him [the] ground towards.
15 ヨセフは彼らに言った、「あなたがたのこのしわざは何事ですか。わたしのような人は、必ず占い当てることを知らないのですか」。
And he said to them Joseph what? [is] the deed this which you have done ¿ not do you know that indeed he practices divination a man who [is] like me.
16 ユダは言った、「われわれはわが主に何を言い、何を述べ得ましょう。どうしてわれわれは身の潔白をあらわし得ましょう。神がしもべらの罪をあばかれました。われわれと、杯を持っていた者とは共にわが主の奴隷となりましょう」。
And he said Judah what? will we say to lord my what? will we speak and what? will we justify ourselves God he has found [the] guilt of servants your here we [are] slaves of lord my both we as well as [the one] who it was found the cup in hand his.
17 ヨセフは言った、「わたしは決してそのようなことはしない。杯を持っている者だけがわたしの奴隷とならなければならない。ほかの者は安全に父のもとへ上って行きなさい」。
And he said far be it to me from doing this the man whom it was found the cup in hand his he he will be of me slave and you go up to peace to father your.
18 この時ユダは彼に近づいて言った、「ああ、わが主よ、どうぞわが主の耳にひとこと言わせてください。しもべをおこらないでください。あなたはパロのようなかたです。
And he drew near to him Judah and he said pardon me O lord my may he speak please servant your a word in [the] ears of lord my and may not it burn anger your on servant your for as you as Pharaoh.
19 わが主はしもべらに尋ねて、『父があるか、また弟があるか』と言われたので、
Lord my he asked servants his saying ¿ [does] there [belong] to you a father or a brother.
20 われわれはわが主に言いました、『われわれには老齢の父があり、また年寄り子の弟があります。その兄は死んで、同じ母の子で残っているのは、ただこれだけですから父はこれを愛しています』。
And we said to lord my there [belongs] to us a father old and a child of old age young and brother his he died and he was left he to only him to mother his and father his he loves him.
21 その時あなたはしもべらに言われました、『その者をわたしの所へ連れてきなさい。わたしはこの目で彼を見よう』。
And you said to servants your bring down him to me so let me set eye my on him.
22 われわれはわが主に言いました。『その子供は父を離れることができません。もし父を離れたら父は死ぬでしょう』。
And we said to lord my not he will be able the young man to leave father his and he will leave father his and he will die.
23 しかし、あなたはしもべらに言われました、『末の弟が一緒に下ってこなければ、おまえたちは再びわたしの顔を見ることはできない』。
And you said to servants your if not he will come down brother your young with you not you will repeat! to see face my.
24 それであなたのしもべである父のもとに上って、わが主の言葉を彼に告げました。
And it was that we went up to servant your father my and we told to him [the] words of lord my.
25 ところで、父が『おまえたちは再び行って、われわれのために少しの食糧を買ってくるように』と言ったので、
And he said father our go back buy for us a little of food.
26 われわれは言いました、『われわれは下って行けません。もし末の弟が一緒であれば行きましょう。末の弟が一緒でなければ、あの人の顔を見ることができません』。
And we said not we are able to go down if there [is] brother our young with us and we will go down for not we will be able to see [the] face of the man and brother our young not he [is] with us.
27 あなたのしもべである父は言いました、『おまえたちの知っているとおり、妻はわたしにふたりの子を産んだ。
And he said servant your father my to us you you know that two [sons] she bore to me wife my.
28 ひとりは外へ出たが、きっと裂き殺されたのだと思う。わたしは今になっても彼を見ない。
And he went out the one from with me and I said surely certainly he has been torn to pieces and not I have seen him until now.
And you will take also this [one] from with presence my and it will happen to him harm and you will cause to go down gray hair my in calamity Sheol towards. (Sheol h7585)
30 わたしがあなたのしもべである父のもとに帰って行くとき、もしこの子供が一緒にいなかったら、どうなるでしょう。父の魂は子供の魂に結ばれているのです。
And therefore when come I to servant your father my and the lad not [is] he with us and life his [is] bound up with life his.
And it will be when sees he that there not [is] the young man and he will die and they will bring down servants your [the] gray hair of servant your father our in sorrow Sheol towards. (Sheol h7585)
32 しもべは父にこの子供の身を請け合って『もしわたしがこの子をあなたのもとに連れ帰らなかったら、わたしは父に対して永久に罪を負いましょう』と言ったのです。
For servant your he stood surety for the young man from with father my saying if not I will bring him to you and I will be culpable to father my all the days.
33 どうか、しもべをこの子供の代りに、わが主の奴隷としてとどまらせ、この子供を兄弟たちと一緒に上り行かせてください、
And therefore let him remain please servant your in place of the young man a slave of lord my and the lad let him go up with brothers his.
34 この子供を連れずに、どうしてわたしは父のもとに上り行くことができましょう。父が災に会うのを見るに忍びません」。
For how? will I go up to father my and the lad not [is] he with me lest I should look on the calamity which it will find father my.
